| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The ranking of Afghanistan shows a considerable improvement in the corruptions perceptions index 2016. The latest index was recently released by the Transparency International as the organization says over two-thirds of the 176 countries and territories in this year’s index fall below the midpoint of our scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

The countries placed below Afghanistan are Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, North Korea, and South Sudan. Somalia is once again place in the bottom of the ranking table by having 10 points and securing the 176th position. |
